Old Time

The husband and a few of his classmates had a little reprieve while out and about for school today and took the opportunity to take this photo. Don't you wish you were as tough as they are? Especially the one in the sombrero in the back? The girl and I sure love and are proud of him!

The girl and I have been spending some quality time at our local pool. In the family changing room where we suit up, they have some lockers to store your goods while you swim. They are a perfect fit for a certain little girl.





Did you happen to notice all the bruises on her forehead? One was courtesy of the cement at a garage sale last Friday. The second came from a little loving from the cement at the park yesterday. As you might have figured, she's still working on fine-tuning her walking skills.

When the sun is shining...

you can find us at the park. The girl can climb all over the toys at the park now, so it makes it such a good time!

Here she is preparing for her first solo trip down the slide this year. See the Concentration? Sliding is intense!


Another favorite past time--playing and eating the mulch. Who needs toys?


The girl has already discovered the joy that is dandelions. Especially when you blow the top part off. The proliferation of weeds in our yard continues.


We weren't supposed to play at the park on this day, but the girl started whining for it the second she saw the park and toys. Good thing the joy on her face made it worthwhile.


Bravery. That is what it takes to see-saw with your mom on the other side when you only weigh 20-some pounds and your mom weighs, well, a lot more than that.

Happy...

Not so happy because I wouldn't let her have the camera...

I tried emailing these tonight, but they were too big for my email provider. So, now everyone gets to enjoy them. Lucky you!




Her cousins were kind enough to give her an Elmo toy this weekend that sings the Elmo's world theme song (the song I am butchering in the second video). She loves it and now loves to tell me about Elmo.

Toddling

This is what she used to do to get around



now she's moving along to this



We are so proud!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

We went to a Royals game last night. The girl was pretty stinkin' excited about almost everything there, but not so much about the weather(rain, wind, & cold). We didn't last the whole game, but we had fun while we were there!

The girl wasn't a firm believer in wearing her hat...or sitting in her chair.






The wet result.
